Doesn´t get any better than a flaming guitar, does it?

Just a calisthenic exercise performed by some pretty girls. I didn´t notice much musical talent. Wonder if they were responsible for knocking out the power?

i assume the beyonce was the one in the middle..

It was lame. Talent is not what it used to be.

The only thing missing was the stripper poles.

Ummmm....so that was spectacular? Guess it doesn´t take much anymore. I´ve seen Beyonce a couple of times and it´s always the same thing. Good grief. I guess that´s what passes for talent today. Low info indeed.

Was it real or fake?

At our party the consensus is that she yells really well, dances better, but it´s to bad she didn´t try to sing. (Live?)

..it was awful..couldn´t understand the music..her routine was in par of a soft porn movie...

Oh-she´s the super-duper role model for Sasha and Malia, don´tcha know. I heard Michelle say that. Yep---that´s just what I want: open thigh squats and shake your buns. Is that a class at Sidwell Friends?

Lousy half time show,worst ever.

Prince had the best half time show ever in the pouring rain and lighting in Miami,he just threw on the dew rag and kicked all form of butt!

Don´t like her or her thug.

Who were those people on the stage?

The power went out too late,it should have gone out during the half time show as it was the worst ever.

Beyonce sucks!

Future Wallmart scooter riders. Screaming hips.

Well guess I´m totally out of touch...didn´t know any of the songs, couldn´t understand the words, didn´t hear a groove/beat, thought the so-called dancing was really cheerleader moves so I muted the crap...and none of the commercials grabbed me either...

Obama blackout...

Yep, it was his BFF the badonkadonk who screwed the pooch.

Take that, Mitches!
Apparently, CBS is perfectly fine with alienating an (admittedly slim) majority of this country for their own minority views.
Next thing you know, they´ll set up a series of softball interviews with Obama to further his agenda! Just like the state-run media used to do with Stalin and Hitler!
But, naw...that´s hyperbole, isn´t it? Couldn´t happen here.

If shaky one´s ample and scantily clad fanny is entertainment, then this would certainly rank.... And yes, it was rank...

I agree that the marching bands, etc were fantastic halftime shows. These new "entertainers" don´t show me much!

Does anybody else notice that in almost EVERY ad the white guy is the fool and the black guy is the hero?

Old fogeys
Any way you slice it - she´s talented. You may not approve of her music or apparel - but she does what she does well.

No following the logic because I don´t like Beyounce but liked Tom Petty somehow I´m just old...she was ok...it´s the whole rock concert show I´magainst frankly...I want something better cus the comment is true in one respect why if you don´t like the rock star´s music?

Incoherent yelling , flames and pelvic thrusting.

Sounded like a bunch of cats in heat to me .

#23:
We´re not so much old fogeys as we´re old enough to tell the difference between roses and hog slop.
Obviously your profession has numbed your senses.
Have fun in the troughs for the rest of your life, my man!
(Snort!)

I am just amazed how dancers in heels like that maintain balance! I thought it was a pretty good show...waaaaaaaay better than Madonna!

Kept reaching into my pocket for a $10 to buy a lap dance.... trash.

Nothing but a soft porn feast for screaming adolescents. No wonder 75% of all black kids are born out of wedlock.

Ours is probably the only house in the US not tuned in to the overhyped Super Bowl and the triply overhyped, worst kept secret ever of the Most Saintly Beyonce (sarcasm) and her half-time worship service. I think Beyonce has a good voice, but does not use it in any way that impresses me. She is an excellent caterwauler. The fact that she´s BFFs with the Poseurs in Chief makes me want to see her even less.

Skimpy black leather and lace outfits on talent-less ´´entertainers´´. Fortunately my granddaughters were not watching as my daughter and son-in-law don´t have tv. They could be watching from the internet, and I KNOW the half-time would be blocked. Are the organizers unaware of the age groups that watch? The only half-time show that was memorable for me was when my parents visited from England, and it was a Disney half-time. We all enjoyed it.

What #27 said! Hey, has anyone noticed that a real football game is taking place between the commericials, power-outages and half time shows?

It was the worst form of exploitation to put those Sandy Hook kids out there. One of the real problems with survivors of violence is a sense of guilt that they lived, and someone else died.
It must be even more difficult for little kids than for adults. Shame on the NFL.
And I was pretty sure that Alicia Keys would never end with her over the top melisma attached to the star spangled banner. The whole pre-game and half time show, with that screeching dancer, who appeared ready to take it all off, made me a grouchy old man.

All I say was some sl_ts

Switched channels to something else. I do that every year.

#22 asks if anyone else notices that in commercials now, white people are stupid and black people smart? I have noticed that. Also white people cause accidents and black people are victims, paramedics are all black also. That is more propaganda. I really despise the left.

Downtown Abbey was superb.

Actually, Beyonce did not appear to sing "absolutely live" as promised. I´ve spoken to people in the know who say she sang live in parts but sang along to a pre-recorded track in other parts. Therefore, it was not "absolutely live".

The comments about her performance on the social media have been largely negative.

Does someone really pay these so-called entertainers? Why?

I could think of a few more dramatic places to have stuck those sparklers than on a dumb guitar. Sorry, beyonce is beyond me. Wheres all the talent?

Ya know what...just leave the lights on, put ANY tape in a Music machine and let the REAL cheerleaders dance around for awhile.

Half time was better that that putrid National Anthem. Why can´t they just sing it?

I´m with #11. They could save a bundle on this overhyped halftime show by awarding it to a really good high school marching band (Macy´s Parade, anyone?) and instead of paying them, they make a large donation to the school which could be applied toward funding their arts program.

I saw about 10 seconds of this "show" - - and remarked to my wife - "they look like prostitutes".

It was better than the "wardrobe malfunction" and better than Madonna, but it did look like a bunch of prostitutes and wasn´t appropriate for kids to view. I know they can see way worse, but this is supposed to be family entertainment.

Big butt. Implants. So what!

I will admit I am an old, well educated, spiritual, refined fogey. I just shook my head and stopped watching.

One word description, sleazy.

I didn´t care for it. I am not a Beyonce fan period.

The last several years, I wish the NFL would have brought back the "Up With People" youth singers back to the Super Bowl halftime show.

And this was one of them.

Borrrrring

Must not have been the same show that I saw. Might have been fascinating to 16 year old boys, but not so much for adults.

Her show belongs in her bedroom in front of her husband. X-rated. Classless. Just thinking she was in DC a few weeks ago and on program there is enough to make me puke.

What´s so talented about shaking your mane of hair around?

I thought it was pretty lame. Beyonce is a big girl, isn´t she (at least by Hollywood standards). I switched to Downton Abbey shortly afterwards and came back for the end of the game. Pretty exciting, but sorry SF couldn´t convert (not a fan, just would have found it more exciting).

Sad. I heard she looked like a stripper or maybe it was a street walker.

Watched the game with several family members. Funny thing is I never left the room during half-time and did not even notice what´s her name. Made a "really" big impression. Yeah, right.

Since when is an in-your-face screaming calisthenics show half-time entertainment?
And what is there about our National Anthem that causes popular artists to make singing it a stylistic romp and all about them? Ridiculous, Alicia Keyes. In contrast, I had the good fortune to attend a huge new citizen swearing in ceremony at the L.A. Convention Center a few months ago. One of the highlights of the ceremony was an amateur young lady who sang our anthem with feeling BUT sang it straight, a cappella and in-tune. It was so moving bringing thousands to tears and then cheers. That young singer got it that it was not about her.

I thought they were just some dancers from the Cougar Lounge.
